Though
there is good sound and picture here, the 1080p 1.78 X 1 image can be soft and
have some issues with the print, while the DTS-HD MA (Master Audio) 5.1
lossless mix has some highlights, but is not as consistent or active throughout
as I would have liked, but this can still look and sound better on Blu-ray than
it would on a DVD.
